Was seriously Considering Breast Fat Transfer in Istanbul Turkey but now going to Izmir for removal and uplift
UPDATED FROM Lizzy254
Here in Izmir for implant removal and breast uplift
Arrived today and was picked up at airport. So far everything is great I really feel like I'm being looked after. My surgery is scheduled for midday tomorrow and apart from normal amount of apprehension I feel good. The package includes accommodation and food. I am staying at a villa with 3 other women some of whom have had their surgery. The feed back is very positive with one woman a returnee. Will update after surgery

I hope you are recovering well and you are happy with the results. I removed my implants and did fat transfer. I am happy I did this and feel normal again. There has been quite a bit of fat absorption but I had very little breast tissue before the implants 40 years ago. Regardless of the size it was the best decision I made. I hope you feel the same .

Hi, thanks for your review. Are you still satisfied with your results? I'm considering revitalize for my surgery next year.

Yes very much so. I've had follow up emails from them checking my healing so it's been really good. Would definitely use them again.

Have booked to have breast implant removal and uplift in Izmir Turkey
After a lot of consideration and research, I've decided to go to Revitalize in Izmir. Dr Cenk is my surgeon. I've spoken with someone who's already had two surgeries there and is going back for another on in July. I did consider Istanbul but then with the recent explosions etc there I decided not to. I'm probably being too cautious but as I'm travelling on my own I want to be as safe and relaxed as poss. Other reasons for choosing here is that the package is for 7 days rather than the 5 offered in Istanbul. Also a lot of the surgeons wanted to put smaller implants in but I really want them out. So far the clinic has been very professional and on the ball. There's a woman called Jackie who you can speak with here in the UK who organises things. The total cost for the explants and uplift with transfers and accommodation is £2,700 which I think is really good. I travel next Wednesday 29th June. I will post before and after pics and keep you updated.

Hi there. I'm new to this so bare with me. I live in UK and had breast implants in 6 years ago. At the time they were like melons (way too big) so I had them done again 2 years later by the same surgeon. Unfortunately they are still too big and I really want to have them removed. I've sent lot of pics of my boobs to various surgeons in Turkey and most of them suggest either smaller implants with breast lift and a couple of them have suggested fat transfer with breast lift. As I'm not looking for big boobs the fat transfer option seems my preferred one. It would be great to hear from others who have gone down the same or similar route as me and who have had work done in Istanbul. I will update my journey as I go along but for now that's it.

I'm 58 years old by the way. I spoke with a Dr Selahattin Tulunay by skype yesterday and I felt comfortable with him so not sure who I will go with yet. He recommended removing implants then putting in smaller ones and doing breast lift. I've also got in touch with Dr Metin Kerem and sent some pictures so I'm waiting to hear back from him. Will keep you posted. Would be great to hear from anyone who had surgery done in Turkey.

I have a fantastic surgeon here in Laufen, Germany! I just had my second fat transfer with her on July 7, 2016. She has been doing this since 2006. Please don't go to Istanbul! I've heard horror stories! She is very experienced. Her name is Dr. Marita Eisenmann-Klein and her work is amazing! I had removal of implants with fat transfer on Jan 7, 2016 after a mastectomy and reconstruction 12 years ago. You can only put in small amounts of fat at a time (150cc) so that fat will have more chance of survival. You also have to wait up to 3 months before your next surgery to form good blood circulation in the breasts. She also fixed everything (to include a new breast shelf) from my mastectomy that left me disfigured. For the first time in 12 years my breasts look fantastic! I still have 1-2 more surgeries to gain the volume and projection, and to rebuild the nipples. The clinic I had the work done is on a lake in the alps and is like a resort. I was there about a week since I was driving home by myself, she wanted to make sure I would be ok to drive. Recovery is about 4 days, the pain is bearable (I was only on 800 mb Motrin every 6 hours) and was able to sit up in bed on the second day. She is amazing! Please let me know if you want her contact info! If you have an e-mail I can also send you before and after photos. Thanks.

Hi, my name is Carolyn and I had a mastectomy and reconstruction with implants in November 2014 and I am looking into removal of the implants with fat transfer instead. Please could you let me have your Dr's contact info and if you would be willing to send me before and after photos too, that would be great. My email address is halliwellfrance@sky.com. Thank you very much x

Hi Carolyn I decided not to have the fat transfer. I had my implants removed and a breast uplift. I went to Izmir Turkey with Revitalize. My surgeon was Dr Cenk. I'm very happy with the results and my whole experience in Turkey
So your stiches were taken before you left Turkey or by your own doc at home? & how much fat did you get in each breast? :)
